<![CDATA[This research is motivated by the demands of digitalization in the workplace, which has shifted financial reporting from manual to software-based systems, while students' initial skills are still diverse and dominated by the lower-middle class. The focus of this research is directed at examining the impact of using MYOB accounting software on students' skill levels in preparing financial reports systematically. This quantitative study applies an associative approach design with primary data collection steps through distributing questionnaires, interviews, and structured documentation in the field. A total of 63 students from the Department of Economic Education, Class of 2023, at Gorontalo State University were involved as the research sample, whose data were then analyzed using simple linear regression techniques assisted by the SPSS program. The research findings indicate that the use of MYOB significantly has a positive impact on students' practical skills with a t-test result of 6.652, which exceeds the t-table of 1.670. Based on the quantitative determination coefficient analysis, a value of 42 percent was obtained, confirming the software's significant contribution in minimizing transaction recording errors and accelerating operational time efficiency. The main conclusion of the research concludes that the integration of MYOB-based accounting technology has proven effective in boosting students' conceptual and technical skills in preparing structured, neat, and applicable financial reports.
